Anyone know how many inches per turn this reel has?

I have no idea, but in a pinch you measure the spool diameter with the line, multiply by 3.14 then multiply that by the gear ratio.  

Reel specs from manufacturers always seem to be a little high.  They may be measuring the diameter at the edge of the flange.  A more realistic number would be to measure the spool diameter with the line when you get half way through a typical retrieve.  As line is pulled off and the spool diameter diminishes, the IPT also declines.

5 speed is 27 inches per turn. 3.6 is 20 inches per turn.

Dwight has it right.  Newell listed ipt in their specs when others didn't.  I have one of their specifications sheets from 1995.
